She draws women. Resolutely. Other things as well, but principally women. Best known for her evocative ink-on-paper silhouette nudes. Tana Latorre, born in Kenya, educated in France and Switzerland and now settled in Barcelona, is an illustrator who captures the subtle essence of femininity with nothing more than a line and a transparent background.

Singer-songwriter Judit Neddermann has been a Joid’art ambassador for some time. Her serene, Mediterranean-inspired music reveals the spirit and soul she has within and brings our happiness and emotional selves to the surface, allowing us to uncover the beauty hidden in everyday life. Judit is pure sincerity, a warm, intimate voice that resonates with the shapes in our jewellery and brings them to life.

We chose one of his photos for our campaign for the Infinite Love collection by Olivia Barthe and that was the start our love affair with this underwater photographer. Xavi Baragona was born in the Mediterranean; the sea is his compass, the east wind his guide. He lives in a blue world where any real idea is moved underwater.

Mireia Grau has been the photographer responsible for infusing our campaign images with life, colour and feeling for a long time now. Recently worked her magic on our newly released collections for AW17. Her inquisitive eye looks out at the world through the lens of her camera, with a talent for capturing the most beautiful aspects of all she sees.

Constructing a figure out of paper using just scissors, glue and the imagination is no easy feat. Turning it into a career is nothing short of heroic; the preserve of those blessed with a special gift (as well as great skill), such as Raya Sader.

Behind the lens of Lalovenenoso we find Martina Matencio, one of the most relevant and captivating photographers of the contemporary Barcelona scene. Her melancholic gaze, her way of interpreting natural light, and the aura she manages to capture around nude female bodies, turn her photographs into such intimate poems that they can only be recited in whispers.

‘We like artists’ is the new section we have introduced for both our blog and our creative universe. The idea is to get closer (and bring you closer) to the artists we like, that inspire us and, through all forms of expression, speak our language. Some are connected to our brand. Others, although not directly linked, have much in common with our understanding of the world of art, creativity and jewellery. We kicked off with Lara Costafreda in January and this month we have caught up with accessories designer, Tània Sala.Want to know more?

A couple of years back we met Lara Costafreda at a workshop on fashion illustration at the BAU school and hit it off really well. We already knew about her work as an illustrator, but putting a face, voice and personality to her name convinced us that we had to do something together one day. And finally that day has arrived… and we’ve done something on a grand scale, yet at the same time very delicate!
